I bought a dealership

[CPerdomo]

that's nice...
did it come in other colors?

How did you pay for it? It's in Japan and I read that cards and addresses outside Japan are not accepted?

I was able to find the same model through American companies for about $175. I ended up getting the Matchbox one for $17

Samurai is a resin line made by Kyosho.
Quick search shows the white and gray NISMOs, and silver and yellow Perfs.

Yeah, they're very well done. Completely 100% accurate. They're quite expensive... north of $300 USD new.

I believe I got it on eBay from one of their certified stores there. Used PayPal.

significance of 23...

While the number "23" is famously used by Nissan in motorsports and branding (often appearing on the 240Z and modern Z cars), it is generally a linguistic pun in Japanese rather than a specific technical specification of the original 1969–1973 240Z.

Here is the significance of "23" in relation to Nissan and the 240Z:
Linguistic Symbolism ("Ni-San"): In Japanese, the number 2 is pronounced "ni" and the number 3 is pronounced "san". Combined, 23 is often read as "Ni-San".

Motorsports Heritage: Nissan frequently uses the number 23 on its race cars (including 240Z rally and race cars) to represent the brand name.
Modern Connection (2023 Nissan Z): The modern 2023 Nissan Z (technically the RZ34) was released to honor the heritage of the original S30-generation Z, including the 240Z.

Other Significant Numbers for the 240Z:
1969: The year the Datsun 240Z (Fairlady Z) was introduced.
1971: The year the 240Z won the East African Safari Rally.
150: The approximate horsepower of the original 2.4-liter straight-six engine.
